8 Create the fifth pattern descriptor, using the following values:
■
Angle: 45
■ Origin: 3.3125, 3.3125
■ Shift: 8, 8
■ Pen down: 3.3125
■ Pen up: -4.6875
The pattern now looks like this:
A 45 angle has a positive slope and results in a slanted line effect.
9 Create the sixth pattern descriptor, using the following values:
■ Angle: -45
■ Origin: 3.3125, 0
■ Shift: 8, 8
■ Pen down: 3.3125
■ Pen up: -4.6875
